I'm going to try to make it to the games in London.

Anyhow, awesome games! The best moment for me was watching Matthew Mitcham from Australia in the diving competition pulverize Zhou from China in that last dive. Amazing.

It'll be weird to not have something vaguely interesting on TV in the early hours of the morning any more. Great games. I will definitely be there for London 2012 (seeing as it's only a few hours down the road, how can I miss it?)

I'm putting my down to volunteer for 2012, it should be fantastic.

Gemma Adlington stealing the 400m freestyle gold right at the end, and blitzing the world record in the 800m were my favourite moments of the games, alongside the obvious gobsmacking Bolt moments.

I'd love to be there for the London games and hopefully the expense won't prove too much for me. We'll see.

I live no where near London.

I didn't really understand the ending ceromony. Some parts of it I did but for others, I was like "Huh?!"

Well, the Games are over. We have to wait another four grueling years for them to be back. Although, the winter ones are in two years. I also have to agree with Always too. I liked the ending ceremony, but some of it didn't make sense.

I only ended up watching a few of the Olympic Events, but what I saw was amazing. I saw some of the diving, track and field, and swimming, but not a whole lot of any of them. I did see one of Bolt's races, which was incredible.

I'm going to start saving up and hopefully be able to afford to go to the London Olympics as a photographer. And I'm pretty sure one of my cousins will be competing there, too, in swimming of some sort.

Oh! I was in Charlotte, North Carolina about two years ago for a National swim competition that my cousin was in, and I noticed this really tall swimmer completely dominating the whole event...and I was later informed that it was Michael Phelps. So that was really cool.

If the Chinese decided to melt down all of their medals they could leaf the Imperial Palace with gold.

Watching the Chinese dominate got a little old after a while, seeing as they breed their champions.
